View 9 RepliesI'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.
I'm making a program and in which the user can select a background image from their computer, but I have not found a way to save the picture to my.settings or my.resources
View 3 RepliesI need a better solution that what I am currently using, and not sure where to go from here.The program uses a scanner and scans documents into it. It uses a flat file (essentially a csv) to store data captured from the documents being scanned (each line in the file is one "document", with each value in the line being some piece of data from that document).
The scanner can scan up to 100 documents per minute, so it runs very fast.Currently, when a document is scanned in, the flat file is opened, a line written to it, then closed.It works for the most part, but sometimes i guess it's too fast for the IO operation, and some documents get completely missed. It will throw an error "error accessing file....". I assume this is because the file is still open from writing the last document to it.
Documents can be scanned at random, so they aren't always constantly scanning. It may scan 100 at a time now, then wait 10 minutes, and then scan one document.Database is not an option, per the specs of this program. It must be flat files. If theres a way to use a flat file like a database, that's cool. It doesn't have to be in CSV format.
It MUST be able to write to the file immediately after scanning. I worry about leaving the file open for writing constantly while the program is open because of a system failure or crash, the file may get corrupt or lost. That is not acceptable. It must be the best option for data recovery, should the computer crash or power go out, etc.
I need to create an application that is able to modify the XML elements value.I have an XML file which was created by another to be used for flash movie which has the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<games>
<game>
<gameName>Cowboy</gameName>
[code]....
As you can see there is this string "™" on <gd02>. My question is, whenever I save the file, the code changed to "TM" which is fine for most cases. But I need it to stay the same because apparently flash will not display the superscript "TM" if not using the code. How can I do this?
How do you save all the settings in a simple code; lets say you have a text box, a checkbox, and a listbox.
In the text box, it lets say you wrote hi
checkbox, you checked it off
listbox, you selected lets say HI from it.
How do you save the settings onto a file? Lets say a .cfg or whatever thats called file. Its like automatic, so that the cgf says lets say says:
NameofCheckBox=true
NameOfListBox=HI
NameOfTextBox=hi
Any way to do this stuff? I've seen some people do it, but they wont tell me how. I dont want to add all this code just to make a file that saves it & reads from it. I know the streamwriter and streamreader, but its a bit complicated.
This seems almost to easy to ask, but I must be missing something simple.I've added a folder in the project explorer, by right clicking>add>new folderBut when I run under debug, I am unable to save to that folder as it's not in the debug folder, I get:"A Generic error occurred in GDI+"In this code, the first line saves the bitmap fine (in the debug folder), the second line fails with the above alarm..

View 1 RepliesI need my app to determine between Win XP, Vista and Win 7 so It can deside which path to save txt file. I know this can be solved by running program as administrator and be able to save in whatever path you like but it would be good if the user didnt have to. Vista and win 7 suxx in this regard although win7 is great otherwise, use it myself.
Anyways would be nice if it was as simple as:
OS = humhum
and the if else
but probably not TT
I developed a organizer app that will allow me to type in multiple different script ideas I have. I have different text fields for genre, length, characters, etc. Anyway, my problem is how do I go about saving at the information in those text boxes. Is there someway I can save the project as a file, then open it back up to modify it, while still being able to create new ones. Someone suggested using xml data storage, but will that allow me to save multiple different data sets, since I won't just be working with one script all the type.
View 1 RepliesOk so with my program i'm trying to create a save configuration I have it in my context menu so that I can click save configuration and what i want it to do is check to see what check boxes are checked and save those to a file (i.e. a notepad file or whatever works) that way I can save categories for customers or my own computer or whatever and than i'll just click load and choose the category I want and it will load the checkboxes that I want to install. I found a similar post but it's not really making sense to me. So i'm wondering what I need to do to make this work.
I'm also wondering how i'm going to load the configuration but I might have to wait on that one step at a time.

View 14 RepliesI'm creating a notepad application with richtextbox as the editor. I have pretty much all of the funtions I want for the application itself, but I want a code that will help me understand whether it has been saved to the computer already.For example, just like in notepad, where you can open a .txt file, and if you don't modify it, it won't prompt you to save on application.exit(), but if you do modify the file in any way, it will ask you if you want to save, and it will automatically save over the opened file without popping up a savefiledialog.
I want my application to do the same thing, and also with any files that I save. For example, when I save a new file, after it prompts me with the savefiledialog, and I save the file to a directory, on my next "save" not "save as" I want it to recognize where it previously saved the file to overwrite it without prompting me with a savefiledialog like "Save As" does.There must be a code to recognize where it was last saved, or opened, but right now my default directory ("Initial directory") for both the open and savefiledialogs are set to the C:/ direcotry.
I have a RichText area, and wanted to create a button, that will take whats in the RichText area, and come up with the prompt for the user to save somewhere on the machine..

I'm trying to load the data by using the first column as the object name and the second as the value. I've had some success with the following (skipping some basic IO lines):
prop = FileReader.ReadLine().Split("|")
tempvar = prop(0)
If TypeName(Me.Controls(tempvar)) = "NumericUpDown" Then
Me.Controls(tempvar).Value = prop(1)
I have a problems with this because I have some objects in panels or group boxes and Me doesn't reach into them.
Is there a way to just strictly reference an object with a variable? I'd love to assign the first column into prop(0) and just say
if TypeName(object(prop(0))) = "NumericUpDown" then
object(prop(0)).Value = prop(1)
